[Bug 1448515] [NEW] Randomly unable to rename files and directories

 

Public bug reported:

This has happened to me now for the second time, that I have been using
nautilus to rename files etc quite happily until suddenly when I try to
rename a file the cursor starts flashing in and out of visibility (may
or may not be related), and then I find that I am unable to rename it,
even if I restart nautilus. So no matter what I type or try to delete
with, not key seems to make any impact to the file's name. I can't even
use the arrow keys to move back and forth through the file name.
